resist taking advantage of their offer of a roll of "premium" vinyl black
electrical tape. 7 bucks a roll.

Don't forget the "special marine" sand paper.

And the "special marine" magazines for the head.

we had a short that killed the engine -- we seperated the wires out (plastic
melted after touching a manifold) the closest marina was "Narrows Marina" at
day island.

Now I like these guys; they're nice -- friendly, and fuel prices are reasonable.
the electrical tape -- $15.99

yes; I bought it.

He-he-he.

I never had the 'Whatever Is On Sale for $0.50/Roll Inferior Quality Not
Recommended' grade electrical tape fail me.

It is what it is.........what is important is the quality of the electrical
connection, not the tape. ;-)

For boats PVC tape is better. After you tape it, put a little PVC pipe glue
on the tape, and it will be welded solid and not let any water in. Works as
well as liquid tape on the trailer light connections.

I've done that on trailer connections. The only problem is that pvc
pipe "glue" is actually an aromatic solvent which means it's "gluing"
action is actually a way to melt the plastic to make the seal.

I'm not sure that's a great idea.
